If you ask a random American why President Bill Clinton was impeached, they'll probably say it was because of a sex scandal. But contrary to popular belief, Clinton was not put on trial before the Senate for doing imaginative things with a cigar in the Oval Office.
President Bill Clinton was the target of several assassination plots over the course of his two terms in the White House — three alone in 1994. Bullets, bombs, and planes were all used in attempt to take the 42nd president's life, but none were successful.
One of the more prominent examples of wealth in the political world is seen in the relationship of Bill and Hillary Clinton, the political power couple who continue to be outspoken figures in the field. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the Clintons have a combined net worth of $120 million.
We've all got that crazy aunt, uncle, or cousin that mom and dad don't want mentioned at the church picnic. In the case of the Clinton political dynasty, it's former President Bill Clinton's brother Roger Clinton Jr. Half-brother, technically. The guy is so sketchy that the Secret Service gave him the code name "Headache" during the Clinton presidency, according to The New York Times. (Hilary's brother's were reportedly a handful, as well.) So just how much trouble does one have to get into to earn such a nickname during an administration so fraught with its own ignominy? That was a question that Roger Clinton Jr. found an answer to.
